Outcomes of Primary Bidirectional Glenn in Children with Single Ventricle Physiology and Increased Pulmonary Blood Flow.

CONCLUSION: In our experience, we found that primary BDG could be done safely for patients having SV physiology and increased PBF with acceptable short-term outcomes. It might further reduce the morbidity and mortality for those patients by avoiding the risk of initial pulmonary artery banding or aortopulmonary shunts.
